I have one of Neal's recent computers running Windows 7. I was thinking
of trying a 192K sampling rate on my Flex 3000. While I can change the
sampling rate in the Flex control as long as PowerSDR isn't running, I
only have the 48K and 92K options in the Audio tab of the Settings for

I have been using EasyPal with SDR-1000 and now my Flex-3000 for quite a
while. It does take more compute power than other digital modes used with
PowerSDR, but seems to work just fine.

Since there are those cables between the computer, that also introduces
another RF path that needs to be controlled. I see in the Knowledge Base a

Here's a poser for this group. I often use my Flex-3000 for digital

The mixer setting for FlexWire made the difference, and I got TX as well

fine with MIXW modes. I can't seem to get EasyPal to work however.

Considering this and other remarks, I thought I'd try Pactor again using
the SDR-X (I presume it is the -X release SVN 1100+ alpha version being
referred to here). I don't know if the reduced latency has made any
difference to a SCS Pactor modem. There's still too much T-R latency to
do Pactor
I am interested in using my SDR with a new Dell latop that does not have

there are problems with the USB port, is there another way to create a

Eric/Steve:
I'm one of those who have spoken up about this. I'm certain that a high bandwidth scope view of things shows the same peaks for SSB and for CW. One issue is the way in which the RF speech power is measured by the different devices, scopes, wattmeters, etc. Some measurement

I agree that your meter is more accurate, but I still have a question about what it's measuring. The definition of what is a peak in speech signals (baseband or modulated) is ill-defined. There are as many techniques as there are speech applications, of which SSB is one. The clicks and stops

When in SSB transmit and no audio is applied, the panadapter shows a display in the passband well above noise. But, in addition, it isn't flat across the top. It peaks at the low end and falls off approximately 25 dB as you move across to the high end of the passband. Why is this? Does it
